Increasing Sensitivity in Patient‐Reported <scp>MDS</scp>‐<scp>UPDRS</scp> Items for Predicting Medication Initiation in Early <scp>PD</scp>
A six-item "Baseline Outcome Voice" version of patient-reported MDS-UPDRS items significantly increases the sensitivity of predicting the key future clinical outcome of starting dopaminergic treatment in early PD. This study also demonstrates how IRT modeling can provide information useful to refining existing measures to identify the most sensitive combination of items honoring the voice of the patient in determining key clinically pertinent decisions. Further research is needed to validate these findings in underrepresented populations.
